American teacher finds $11,000 in cash in the middle of the road

It’s not every day a giant wad of cash literally falls out of the sky. But that’s just what happened to Sherry Whitesides and her 12-year-old son Alan.

The pair, from South Carolina, were driving downtown when a bag containing $11,000 in cash from American bank Wells Fargo landed in the road in front of them.

The 48-year-old told ABC News: ‘We get out of the car and I looked down and saw all these $100 bills. But they were pink and blue, like the brand new ones, and my first thought was, ”This isn’t real.”’

The elementary school teacher, who found a bank slip inside the bag identifying its rightful owner, immediately took the money to the local police station.

Well, almost immediately. First she took the obligatory this-is-more-cash-than-we’ve-ever-seen-in-our-lives selfie, of course.
